Barcelona houses true wonders in the galleries, boulevards and antique shops that you can discover while touring its neighbourhoods. Collectibles, period furniture, old toys, books with a lot of history... Unique items that, over time, have become real treasures.Some time ago, if you wanted to buy an antique, all you had to do was visit Calle Diputación or Calle del Consejo de Cent, since most of the city's antique dealers were located between these two areas. Little by little, new shops have been opening and some have been moved to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona. Today, antique dealers can be found all over the city.
